In this fifth volume of his True Crime series, Germany's bestselling True Crime author, Adrian Langenscheid, unleashes a heart-pounding, addictive reading yet again. A breathtaking and deeply harrowing portrait of the human abyss, it arouses powerful emotions with its chilling, matter-of-fact descriptions. Free from sensationalism, eighteen True Crime short stories retell some of the most spectacular French criminal cases in recent decades.

These crimes involve "people like you and me", whose lives, due to tragic circumstances, are upended from one day to the next and no longer what they once were. It takes expertise and excellent head-scratching, but the True Crime expert integrates key insights from court hearings, case files, psychological assessments, interrogations, and investigative protocols into his electrifying narratives.
